This Side Of Goodbye Lyrics

Highway 101 This Side Of Goodbye

Six or seven hours ago
Seemed the only thing to do
Was head out on the open road
And find anywhere else I wouldn't find you
Through the window of the room
Neon flashes “vacancy”
Brighter than the quarter moon
And colder inside than I thought it would be
With all these miles behind me
All those reasons why
Fade into my memory
This side of goodbye
This side of goodbye
Sittin' on a single bed
Silent television glows
I'm looking back and up ahead
At what it all was and where it all goes
Oh, why'd we have to drift apart
A little further every year
And why'd we take a smile to heart
Not nearly as deep as any one tear
With all these miles behind me
All those reasons why why why
Fade into my memory
This side of goodbye
This side of goodbye
Reaching out was hard somehow for so long
But easy now if you were here or just picked up the phone
With all these miles behind me
All those reasons why
Fade into my memory
This side of goodbye
This side of goodbye
